I make roughly 350k a year as a lobbyist for a firm. My hours vary based on the time of year, but when congress is in a session, I often work 60-70 hours a week. If there is a bill that is important to my sector, I could easily work 9 AM-2 AM. Calendar is filled with networking events on weeknights and Saturdays. DH is a researcher with a 40-hour week. Fortunately, his parents live in DC and help us with the kids. Due to seniority at my firm, I am able to make it clear that Sundays are off limits and reserved for family. Although it isn't perfect, I love my job and am content with family dynamics right now.

Is this normal compensation for a lobbyist?

Not PP but it depends on your contacts. In my circle, my guess is that is the median. Lobbying is really stressful work - breakfast fundraisers at 7am and cocktails at 7pm - it is long hours. If you are at a firm, it’s eat what you kill so always hustling for more clients.
